FILE - This Dec. 1, 2008 picture shows astronaut Steve Bowen at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA is replacing a member of space shuttle Discovery's crew who crashed his bicycle over the weekend. On Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011, NASA removed Timothy Kopra from the crew and added veteran spaceman Stephen Bowen. Bowen flew on the most recent shuttle flight, last May. Bowen will assume Kopra's spacewalking duties during the 11-day flight. That flight has been on hold since November because of fuel tank cracks. (AP Photo/Margaret Bowles, File)AP - An astronaut who crashed his bicycle over the weekend won’t be taking part in space shuttle Discovery’s final voyage next month.
